You need BigGUI and FshX first of all, just to handle the files. (There are other programes, but those are the ones I use)
After that you go and open the file: \NBA LIVE 2005\sgsm\common\xshoes.viv with BigGUI. Extract the corresponding shoe-file that you want to replace (Here's a list= http://www.nbaliveforums.com/ftopic18554.php) and open the file with FshX. In there first of you may want to put 'Double Texture' for better detail on the shoes if it hasn't been done yet, then you choose import and select the shoe (-picture) that you'd like to add. Then just save the file and put it in either your main 'NBA Live 2005'-folder or in the 'SGSM'-folder.

I'll make a larger tutorial later on, so if you can't get it to work, hang on.

but there is nothing to extract in the shoe file that i downloaded...( there's only: read-me and some pictures...please help me....

[Andreas Dahl]

Those are the pictures that you should import into the .fsh file...

Import a bmp file with FshX and import the fsh file with BigGUI if I correctly remember, that's what I did the first time I did that...

BMP = the shoe, the pic of the shoe... I have written what you have to do... plus Andreas has written exactly how to do... just follow his instructions...

Melo, the picture needs to be a BMP file.

[Andreas Dahl]

It can be a .jpg, .png or whatever. Although .bmp is the only format that is displayed in the select file window.
If you want to import a picture in a format other than .bmp, you just write in the name of the file in the address bar instead of pushing the icon.


I've just now finished taking screens of how to add shoes to the game for a tutorial, so perhaps in a few hours or tomorow I'll finish it...
